DInky Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 4 minutes ago, SpiderByte said: With that one spoiler element, I don't think a streamer picking it up is possible without a very wide release...but this sounds like an insanely risky bet for that. I dunno I was betting on a streamer (Netflix, Apple or Amazon) simply because they're the ones who have money to burn. None of the traditional studios will voluntarily lose 100M. Even with a wide global release I don't see it making more than 40M WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedorito Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 He’s gonna have to lower his demands significantly if he wants one of the decently well-known distributors to take on this film. Not even a streamer wants to waste a ton of money on a film with zero box office and award prospects that’s gonna lose whatever buzz it has outside of hardcore cinephiles a week from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedorito Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Big tech like films that have the potential to drive numbers or garner important nominations/awards. This film won’t drive numbers, it’s not Killers of the Flower Moon or something. Coppola is no Scorsese and Driver is no Leo. It’s also getting panned so there’s going to be very little buzz or engagement months from now whenever it finishes it’s probably very short theatrical run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I will grant now that we know what exactly it is that makes it so... divisive, I don't think the "tortured artist against the world" narrative carries as much weight anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is with that element it makes any sort of home/streaming release impractical. Any money it makes has to be in theaters Possibly muted awards chances, not great box office chances, potential complications with streaming...someone's gotta be willing to just eat 100 mil to say they released Coppolas last movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not getting 100m marketing budget for this. Edited May 17 by babz06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude391 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 3 hours ago, AniNate said: Lol that thing about Hide contents Someone getting up in the audience to ask a question to Adam Driver's character is amazing. I wonder if FFC really expected that as part of his distribution terms I could see this happening for a limited release maybe? (That IMAX run only being in 22 cities makes this more plausible)...but def not wide. Unless, THIS is why he needs 100m for distribution! Pay all the actors globally!

AniNate Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 They're gonna have to offer some kind of alternative cut for TV and cheap exhibition showings. I'm sure some art houses might be willing to oblige on an occasional basis with a screening "as the director intended" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 65 on MC now Reviews are actually quite decent, considering it’s strong divisive aspect If it win something at Cannes, maybe he can still have a shot at selling this well. Triangle of Sadness won Best Picture with very similar reviews If it doesn’t win, yeah i think he’ll have to accept a way smaller price and distribution with NEON or similar studio.

interiorgatordecorator Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I dont know how to feel about the fact that on RT the supposedly awful the strangers movie coming out next week has a higher top critic average rating that coppola's passion project; makes me wonder about the democratization of movie reviewing and its consequences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interiorgatordecorator Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 up to 65 on metacritic I think we've seen enough to determine that the movie is not fundamentally broken or anything, some people just really dont "vibe" with it for lack of a better term if it manages to climb a bit more, wouldn't surprise if it manages to walk out of cannes with an award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
